Drivers prioritise picnics over car prep for summer road trips

At the height of summer, when many families come together for their annual getaway, recovery drivers often find themselves with a little more work on their hands. As it turns out, this could be because the cars are getting a little less attention than the holiday planning itself.

New research has revealed that British drivers are more likely to prepare a picnic for their long journey than check their car can handle the distance. This means that simple maintenance checks such as checking the oil level or the tyre pressures often go amiss.
